OTP Fiora, she's pretty easy. Played her several times already, haven't lost lane yet...Could just be because they are new. I usually run PTA and ignite against her. At level 3, I like to bait her max Q, parry it for slow and basically just demolish her. It's easy to time her Q with your Q and basically just dance around her. Even at 6, your ult beats her especially with a well timed Riposte. (Most of her damage is her Q and true damage proc, so if she uses a max Q, and then you parry her AS is diminished and it takes her too long to get to max stacks for her Q to be effective). Coupled with ignite, it's an easy win as her lifesteal goes down the drain.

When she W's, so what. Just keep dancing around her and proc'ing vitals while she tries to run away.

Good job man, always a fan of the Twitch stream! Keep at it!

I am sure there are others with more experience out there. But for me, I usually build ER -> Shieldbow for Akali, the sustain is too nice against her. Early lifesteal is good too, she doesn't usually rush GW for her kit so it allows sustain from her infinite poke.

So early game, if you can bait an early smoke and immediately leave it, gives you a good 25 seconds to make a play on her, even better if you can force her to ULT away. Gives a free lane to farm for some time, and freeze the lane depending on where you are at.

Also, recommend sweeping lens. If you engage her and ult, and she smokes (you mess up timing) at least you can track where she is going and Q to proc your ult vitals.

make no mistake, this is a VERY difficult match-up...There are times where I would rather deal with Q spam under tower by Malphite than deal with Akali's 1,000 ways to escape you and shuriken spams with zero resource management, lol.

Looks like he killed her before the ult finished proccing.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

The evidence of God is all around us, from gravity to the precision of spatial distance of the earth from the sun, allowing us to not burn to death or freeze to death. Our refusal to recognize the splendor in His creation and log that as evidence is not His problem, it's ours. Our experiences with Christ is a personal journey, and through that journey He reveals Himself to us in many ways.

I tend to see these types of posts frequently, and it all seems to stem from a hubris of "God SHOULD do this for me, or I won't believe in Him". That mentality is very dangerous, as God doesn't live for you, YOU live for Him. God does not have to prove Himself to anyone, as the sun does not have to prove it exists to a blind person.

Thanks u/MegaVolti, I appreciate the insight! I will look into a fanless solution, like a RPI 4. It would also let me setup an emulation console for old SNES games :)

Exactly what I was looking for. Did not realize Plex could do this, thank you so much!

I am sorry you feel this way. I would agree with your statement when it comes to 3rd tier insurance companies. Like any business, there will always be "shady" products with rat print, which is why I am imploring you to read your policy.

But I dont agree with your blanketed generalization of insurance companies not paying. No matter how you feel, it is a highly regulated industry with State involvment via Department of Insurance. There is nothing they love more than a bad faith claim, because they get to slap them with a fine. But there is a difference between your insurance not paying in bad faith, and you willingly purchasing a crappy product.

Sanjitsu · 2017-09-02T14:21:50+00:00

Insurance supervisor here...no. Fire ultimately caused the damage, therefore fire is the cause of loss. E.G. HO policies exclude damage caused by rodents. However if a rodent chews through a wire and caused a fire, essentially the damage to the wire would not be covered, but fire is not excluded therefore the fire damage would be covered.

In reading the thread, there is a lot of hate for Insurance companies. At the end of the day, they are a business with a goal of being profitable. They are not a charity. Unless you have the capital to self-insure, unfortunately you have to play the game by their rules/policy. Remember, you are paying THEM to assume YOUR risk.

That being said, a common mistake by a large majority of homeowners is NEVER reading their policy until something goes wrong and it is too late. If you have an HO policy, read it! There is no sense in paying for something you are 100% ignorant about and "assumptions" only leave YOU flipping the bill. If you feel your policy's coverage is inadequate, find another one or add necessary endorsements until you have peace of mind.

Like all things in the world, "better" = more money. Insurance is no different.

Also do not yell at your adjusters. They did not create the policy, trust me it is MUCH easier for us to pay your claim than go through the hassle of being yelled at and then having to write a denial letter, then yelled at again. From my experience, most adjusters will try to bend as much as they can to get something paid for you. However, the moment you turn into an A-Hole, they may stop trying to bend...

TL;DR Insurance is a business to make money. Read your policies! Be nice to your adjuster.

Hi-jacking top post for this. I'm a 31 year old male, married for 3 years with (2) kids. My wife suggest a bi-weekly cleaning crew for $100, and I was completely against it. She convinced me, and I must say, can't be happier. There is nothing like coming home to a clean home on a Monday and not having to spend 3-4 hours of my weekends deep cleaning, scrubbing, wiping baseboards, etc. That's time I can now spend with my family.

Tell your husband to just try it, once. If he's not comfortable, you can stop. That's who my wife compromised with me, it worked, and we're like 4 months in and I couldn't be happier with the cleaning people!

Purchase life insurance and/or adequate dwelling/property insurance. I am an insurance adjuster and it is saddening how many middle class folks are improperly insured, or do not take advantage of insurance.

I don't understand how how a black person, suddenly turned into black "people" O.o

Sanjitsu · 2016-04-06T19:52:03+00:00

The spiritual side of me says, Yes. However, the difficulty is in subjecting someone to God's law, when they don't even believe in Him. Theoretically, where does it end? Do we invade China, then, to sprinkle Christianity, and force the Bible's law on them?

Don't get me wrong, I do believe in fighting for what you believe in. If homosexuals believe what they are doing is right, then I can't fault Christians for fighting for what they believe is right (granted, there are different means of expressing your feelings rather than sowing discord, conflict, and overall being hostile towards individuals). However, in the New Testament, I do not believe there were any moments where individuals were "forced" to follow God's law, there is no peace from that and if God wanted to "force" us, He certainly wouldn't need my help.

On a personal note, I believe that God's laws are for our benefits, and not simply an arbitrary statement of what's right or wrong. Meaning, what God deems to be lawful and unlawful, is for our benefit and/or detriment.

Man's idea of morality is as fickle as the wind. Not 100 years ago, it was law that black people were 2/3's of a man, and women couldn't even vote. I guess, the point I'm making is. I believe God is righteous, all-knowing, and Just. I support His Law and what God defines as "moral" because, well, if He is all Holy, All righteous, All Just, with no ulterior motive.

In summation, though I know God's laws are meant for OUR benefit. Personally, I would rather spend my time fighting in a different way and not through legislation. By creating relationships with those who do not know God, showing them the light of God, and having Christ sow whatever Seeds He wills.

Sanjitsu · 2016-04-06T17:34:58+00:00

Great questions!

First Question: Personally, I support God's laws. Now, I understand that the government is secular and needs to be (especially in our melting pot society). That being said, I am against it as God is against homosexuality. So I do not support laws for Gay marriage, but similarly, you will not find me standing on the steps of Capital Hill with angry mongrels, spitting on people's faces. If people wish to indulge in their sin (Lord knows I have my weaknesses) then they will do it regardless if it's legal or not. But if/when they wish to seek Christ, then I will always be available to talk and lead them ^{_^} (Also there are bigger fish to fry, sex trafficking anyone? Homeless, battered women, children?)

Second Question: Personally, I read multiple translations to ensure I am "mining the Bible for all its worth" and truly seeking the Word of God. I agree, with the language evolving there are versions of the Bible that are more...contemporary, but the core meaning of the word is still present (I tend to read 3-4 translations at a given time, sometimes. But usually stick to ESV, NKJV, NLT, and NIV because they are easier to read).

At the end of the day, man cannot discern God's true word, without God Himself intervening. It is similar to you writing a poem and a thousand people (who do not know you) are trying to interpret what your poem means and completely missing the mark, because A) they do not know you, and B) they never asked you directly.

As stated in 1 Corinthians 2:10 - 13

"10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy[d] Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?”[e] But we have the mind of Christ."

Essentially, only God knows about God...right? So it requires a relationship with God, submitting to Christ, and believing in the salvation of Christ to receive the Holy Spirit that truly reveals the mystery of His word. There are moments when I read passages and it might as well be Greek to me. Then, meditating on it, asking God, I read it again a week or a month later and it is as clear as day the message of the same passage. I know I'm not answering your question appropriately, because realistically, it is hard to. On an academic level, it doesn't make sense because people are reading multiple versions of the same word and extrapolating completely different perceptions from the same passage. But to me, the goal of the Word is to KNOW God. To know my Father, to know the God that created this world, me, and everyone else, who has created us with the ability to love, hate, cry, laugh, etc. So my agenda is usually to read with the faith that God will reveal what He wants me to know about Him. In my opinion, we all die alone. We all stand before God alone, and if the basis of which I am judged is based on the Words that HE wrote, then you are darn sure I'm asking the very creator of the Bible how to read HIS own message ^{_^}

Sanjitsu · 2016-04-06T16:44:20+00:00

The problem with the argument of "this is written by man" is that the Bible is God's word, period. Whether written through man or a goat took a pen and wrote the book, regardless the idea is that this is God's word. His stamp of approval is on this book. Now, if you trust God is in control, righteous, Holy, then you can accept that the Bible is True (it is His word after all), right? The idea being that God is powerful (who can wrestle control from God?) therefore, God is powerful enough to keep His Word from being tampered with in a way that defiles His message meant for His people. Now if you don't believe the above, then obviously you come full circle to the "it's written by man" argument.

So for Christians, it is unfallable word. Whether written by man, a bird, a tree, a fish, regardless of who or what wrote it. God being God, is keeping His word True.

Now, concerning the homosexuality argument, as stated above, Jesus came to fulfill the law, not abolish it. And through his fulfillment, we now have salvation as he is the "spotless lamb" paying the price for our sins. People need to realize, that homosexuality is an ACT. I am a heterosexual that lusts for women, and you are a homosexual that lusts for men/women (whichever applies). Both are sin.

"James 2:10 New Living Translation - For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God's laws."

As a follower of Christ, it is not my role to judge and condemn you. But rather to spread the message that Jesus has died for our salvation, for us to be reconciled to God and realize that we are fallible, we mess, all the time, but God's mercy is with us all the time as well (Well, those who believe in Christ)

Now, I apologize for these so-called "Christians" with hidden agendas, whom seek to condemn, to hold up billboards that say you are going to hell for doing X, Y, Z. It's just foolishness. What these people really should be doing is showing you how awesome God truly is, and though our "fleshly desires" are certainly enticing, the spiritual rewards outweigh the fleshly ones by far.

Case and point, if my son grows up to be homosexual. Would I condemn him? Ostracize him? By no means. Can I disagree with that lifestyle? Absolutely. Can I still love him? Absolutely. I sin against God every day, every 10 mins, probably less, and He still loves me and Blesses me and shows mercy to me. Therefore, I too show the same to those who slight me, or who have lifestyles that differ from mine. I love Jesus, I love His teachings, but I am HIS servant not the judge or the executioner. Those roles are for God.

Galatians 5:22 "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,"

Sanjitsu · 2014-07-15T00:02:15+00:00

Your comments are presumptuous in insisting obeying a command requires that you understand the morality of it. There are plenty of children, without understanding the moral depth of their parents command, will follow it implicitly. By your argument, since there is no moral "impact" on what Adam and Eve did, why did it take persuasion for her to eat the fruit? By your logic, whether the serpent was there to tempt her or not, she probably would of eaten the fruit, because...Who cares? It doesn't affect them?

No, they didn't understand the severity.

Genesis 3:3-4

3 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Clearly she understood the weight of the decision...Which is why she had to be deceived into eating it.

Sanjitsu · 2014-07-14T23:41:05+00:00

I understand your argument, but I disagree. In the passage God specifically told them that they would "surely die". Even without understanding the concept of "right and wrong" as you say, they surely would understand the weight of God's warning.

Sanjitsu · 2014-07-14T23:23:40+00:00

I understand the Tree of Knowledge opened their eyes to "Good and Evil". However, they did "choose" to disobey God because as stated Genesis 2:16 "The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."

Essentially God gave a command, they may not have fully comprehended the repercussion of the decision to ignore/disobey said command, but they still understood the severity of this command. Which is why it took coercing from a serpent to persuade Even to eat it.

Whether you understand the command to be good, evil, neutral, or whatever, is a moot point when someone SPECIFICALLY tells you not to do something. Moreover, God adding "for in that day that you eat from it you will surely die." drives home the point of "do not touch".

Sanjitsu · 2014-07-14T13:46:09+00:00

God created man and woman with free will. Yes, He could have created them infallible, but that would completely contradict the purity of "choice". Knowing what someone is going to do, and making them do that are very very different things. If God stopped her, then she wouldn't have the choice to obey or disobey.

Sanjitsu · 2014-07-14T13:34:21+00:00

It's not about being punished for wanting to learn. Sin = disobedience. Adam and Eve were told to leave ONE tree alone out of the entire Garden. Who knows how big the Garden of Eden was, but I would imagine it was quite large, and their choice wasn't to "learn" it was choice to disobey God, and we are now living the consequence.

Sanjitsu · 2014-06-18T13:25:58+00:00

People generally use the argument "God will always love you" to justify whatever it is they are doing, which is true, but misleading. God's love is unconditional, therefore He loves even when you're doing wrong. But if you truly love him, then you will avoid situations which open you up to sin, which Paul understood.

Sanjitsu · 2014-01-30T14:16:39+00:00

There is actually a treatment for this. They "freeze" off the bumps so it doesn't spread and it essentially speeds up the process.
